I’m not sure who Zainab Johnson’s been talking to, but she’ll have no problem finding vegan/plant-based food here in Edinburgh during the fringe (‘I spent a month sleeping in a cupboard’: comedians on the true cost of the Fringe, 27 July). We have thousands of restaurants, the vast majority offering plant-based alternatives.

Why are women performing on a stage called “actor” instead of “actress” but women performing on a football field “Lionesses” instead of “Lions”?
